quote:I wish like hell he had stayed for his senior year. This team would be money.

LSU would certainly matched some of the greatest college defenses of all time if those early departures who were drafted lower than the first round would have stuck around for their senior campaigns over the last few years. And still we have no reason to fear my good man! The Chief seems to have put the pieces together for the SEC run and these Tigers are still very under rated gong into the Geo game. Even though he is the great white hope, I am afraid that Welter will most likely be demoted to back up duty once the right youngster gets the playbook down pat since the Mike Backer is so instrumental in getting things set right and all. So you see, even more improvements are on the way. I am absolutely not worried about the defense now that the offense is truly competent for the first time in six years.

Also, congrats to the Honey Badger for totaling ten tackles and a pick. I missed the game but after seeing the score, I can only imagine that Breez picked on him so I hope that he didn't look too bad and give up too many yards on the completions that he ended up getting tackles off of. I guess that getting schooled by Drew isn't really anything for a rookie to be too embarrassed about.
